Zio, (Uncle) my eyes searched longingly down corridors bleached with shuffling feet for you. I became tiny in your verve of universe hurried with activity, and you, still the handyman. There you were almost child-like, your hair still the colour of milk; though wispy and careless, it no longer curves over your intelligent frown satisfied. You greeted me, you didn’t know me. But you did ask about the crops as though, I worked the land with you. They’re fine, I tell you smiling, and your eyes they smile back at me Autumnal.

Wondermos Babyroo,, wondermos. You make the scene come to life. ![]() (K) There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

I love this Maree. . . it's such a wonderful picture. . . quote: Wonderful description of the distancing that we tend to have sometimes when dealing with older aunts and uncles. . . I love the line, "your verse of universe". . . quote: I was wondering if you were trying to show a pause there with the comma in the second line? How about this? But, you did ask about the crops as though I worked the land with you or, something else to give the idea that it's supposed to be one phrase. . . quote: I love the ending. . . the harvest of life. . . It's really great Maree. . . a tender portrait of life. . . great job my friend!!! ![]() --------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.
